FAQPage Schema

How do I manage MCP servers from the terminal?▼

You can manage MCP servers from the terminal using a CLI that discovers configured servers, authenticates, lists tools, and executes calls. It supports both local and ad-hoc HTTP/stdio servers to streamline development workflows.

How do I execute a tool call on an MCP server using CLI?▼

To execute a tool call on an MCP server using the CLI, you run a command specifying the server and tool name followed by key-value arguments. This directly invokes the targeted server tool and returns the output from your terminal.

Can I connect to ad-hoc HTTP and stdio MCP servers?▼

Yes, you can connect to ad-hoc HTTP and stdio servers. The CLI supports discovering existing MCP client configurations and establishing new ad-hoc connections to execute tools across different server environments.

Do I need Node.js to configure MCP servers from the command line?▼

Yes, Node.js and npm/npx are required to run the CLI for MCP server management. The tool relies on the Node.js runtime to execute commands, manage configurations, and generate TypeScript client wrappers.

What is the best way to generate TypeScript clients for MCP servers?▼

The best way to generate TypeScript clients for MCP servers is using a CLI generate command. This accelerates integration by automatically producing TypeScript wrappers based on the server's available tools and schemas.

Why use a CLI tool for MCP server discovery instead of manual configuration?▼

Using a CLI tool for MCP server discovery avoids manual configuration errors by automatically finding configured servers and enumerating their tools. It provides a single interface to view schemas, authenticate, and execute tool calls efficiently.
